Audition Information
The Show: CATCH ME IF YOU CAN
is based on the hit Dream Works Film starring Leonardo DiCaprio,
Tom Hanks , Amy Adams, Jennifer Garner and Martin Sheen. This splashy spectacle follows the unbelievable true
story of one of the most famous con-artists in history, Frank Abagnale, Jr. Catch Me If You Can is a rousing musical
set in the 1960’s. We begin as Frank is captured by Agent Hanratty after years of pursuit. Frank, however, thinks
the audience deserves to hear his version of the truth, and narrates his life as a hip, dance-heavy variety television
show. We see Frank, as a teenager, run away from his unhappy home to live a life of great adventure, conning
people by assuming a multitude of identities: airline pilot, doctor, and lawyer, to name a few. A fast, rollicking
musical by the creative team behind Hairspray, first produced in 2011.
When and Where

to 9 pm at Carrington Hall at Sequoia High School. 1201 Brewster Avenue in

Hall/Theatre. (Parking is available in the Brewster Lot
Callbacks: will be held May 9 from 5 to 9 pm, at the same location. We only call
back people we need to see again. Be aware that even if you are not called back, you
could still be cast in the show. We do our best to schedule call backs in such a way that
only requires people to stay for a certain amount of time, not for the entire call back.
